CHALLENGE WEEK

CHALLENGE WEEK

Business is hard as all hell, and I know that better than most because I’ve been doing this for 17 years. Sometimes you have the ups, and sometimes you run into… challenging weeks – and during those times you can’t give up. That’s the key difference between those who fail at business and those who […]

COMPLETING MY CUSS QUOTA

COMPLETING MY CUSS QUOTA

I know, like any business owner knows, that when I’m at work there are hundreds of thousands of things that I COULD be doing. But the difference between me and those other business owners is that I know what I SHOULD be doing. And the reason that I know is because of our plan, and […]

CUSTOMER SUPPORT SCAVENGER HUNT

CUSTOMER SUPPORT SCAVENGER HUNT

I’ve talked a lot about Measurable Genius being a service company, but we haven’t really had a good opportunity to show it off for the video blog. That changes today. Everett and I replaced all the computers at our great client Hearth and Home on the weekend, and this morning we hung around to make […]

E-COMMERCE AND FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS

E-COMMERCE AND FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS

One of the brand promises we have a Measurable Genius is that we hold space. That’s important in any service industry, but especially when you’re working with entrepreneurs. Building a business is a minefield of stress, and there are many times when I play a role in helping our clients navigate that stress … while […]

EVERYONE NEEDS A LANDING PAGE(S)

EVERYONE NEEDS A LANDING PAGE(S)

One thing I find myself recommending to my clients over and over again is the idea of a landing page to capture the traffic they’re buying from ad platforms like Facebook(TM) and Google. If you’re running paid ads, you need to have an idea of where you want to send that traffic and what you […]

FUCK YOU PAY ME

FUCK YOU PAY ME

Every day we’re faced with choices. And the best way to make those choices is to find out the story you want to tell about your life. If you know that, then all you have to do is to make the choice that aligns most closely to the story you want to tell. It’s that […]

GET EFFICIENT OR GET LOST

GET EFFICIENT OR GET LOST

You guys may have noticed that I hate wasting time. That’s why when I come to a meeting I want to know exactly what we’re doing and what we’re going to be discussing. A meeting without an agenda is like lighting a whole pile of money on fire … and I’m no Joker. On today’s […]

HAVE YOU UNINSTALLED WEBROOT YET?

HAVE YOU UNINSTALLED WEBROOT YET?

Today we spent the morning with David of Bali and Beyond, giving him (and his computer) some care and attention. I spent a lot of time uninstalling programs … if your computer is running slow, chances are you’ve got all kinds of little things hogging up resource space. Most of them come out pretty easily… […]

I Can Fix Your Computer But I’d Rather Fix Your Brain

I Can Fix Your Computer But I’d Rather Fix Your Brain

There’s a certain obsession people have for fixing other people. It’s something we’re all guilty of. However, by trying to fix other people, by trying to manage them instead of embracing them, you’re not helping as much as you think. When someone, whether it be an employee or your significant other, complains to you, instead […]

INTERNAL DAZE

Measurable Genius is a service company. And whether that means I’m on the help desk moving files around in your PC, or I’m at your office physically picking that PC up, I’m doing to do the best damn job of it that I can do. Do we make mistakes sometimes? Sure, but it’s never going […]
